- Notes
- "Thank you for the reflection on the life and witness of Florence Li Tim-Oi ['The church waits in hope', March 2014, p. 4]. When my father ordained her, he resisted the temptation to rename her 'Cornelia'. He recognized that his action paralleled that of Peter baptizing the first Gentile, confirming what God had already done. Salvation history, recorded in scripture and ever since, is that of God never changing, in always going ahead of his people, who, often kicking and screaming, need to catch up. Honouring the memory of Li Tim-Oi, the Li Tim-Oi Foundation for the past 20 years has been empowering women, whom God is calling in the Two-Thirds World, to crack the reinforced glass ceilings of church and society. They are the 'Daughters of Li Tim-Oi'." [Text of entire article.]
